FINDING 2025-003 Finding Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Summary of Finding: The School Corporation is a member of the Northeast Indiana Special Education Cooperative (Cooperative). During fiscal years 2022-2023 and 2023-2024, the Cooperative operated the special education program and spent the federal money on behalf of all its members. As the grant agreement was between the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) and each member school, the School Corporation was responsible for ensuring and providing oversight of the Cooperative. The School Corporation did not have internal controls in place to ensure that the Cooperative complied with the procurement and the suspension and debarment requirements. The Cooperative did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that the requirements for the simplified acquisition threshold and for small purchases were met for each applicable procured good or service or to ensure that vendors were not suspended or debarred prior to entering a covered transaction.

Department will strengthen controls to ensure that the required award information is provided, once available. Certain information such as Federal Award Identification Number and Federal Transit Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration award date are not available at the time of contracting CDOT is working on a process to provide this information, once it is available in a publicly available format on CDOT’s website or on a subrecipient facing grant management site. We will add a note to the contract explaining where the information will be posted on our site when it becomes available. The Department will also identify staff requiring additional training on classification and coding for contractors vs. subrecipients.

The Department agrees with the recommendation. The Department will review, assess, and, where necessary, update existing procedures for FFATA reporting relating to the requirement that state subawards for $30,000+ be submitted within 30 days of committed budget. This will include ensuring that the confirmation date is documented. This process will be a coordinated effort between the Office Transportation Safety (OTS) and the Center for Accounting. This will include updating our reconciliation process to include additional data, reviewing and updating reconciliation and review procedures as needed, and reconciling Grants awarded in prior fiscal years that are still active and ensuring they have been appropriately reported. The findings related to this recommendation are in part the result of a federal reporting system limitation, and a federal system conversion. The legacy reporting system, FSRS, had a system limitation, which prevented the full amount of the award being reported in the case of three awards. Additionally, this conversion resulted in some data conversion issues impacting one additional award.
The Department agrees with this finding and will provide any training needed to staff members to ensure that all components of the FFATA are completed accurately, timely and with proper reviews. This training will include leadership reviewing NHTSA/Federal guidelines and SAM.Gov training on FFATA re...
